Hicks: Harrison Ford will appear in next &apos;Star Wars&apos; movie

Harrison Ford will return to play Han Solo in "Star Wars: Episode VII," according to reports.

Indiewire.com said that various clues coming out of the "Star Wars" camp indicate that, whatever storyline J.J. Abrams and crew are coming up with, "the lineage to the first trilogy of films will be pretty direct."

Whether Ford's return will be a major part of the story or just a cameo remains to be seen. But according to Latino's Review, it's a done deal.

Of course, Disney isn't talking.

Before George Lucas sold LucasFilm to Disney, Lucas met with Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher last summer, to tell them a new trilogy was on its way. Their was another rumor floating that 'Episode VII' would involve an older Luke Skywalker. Hamill and Fischer -- and just about every other actor, alien and clone connected to the films -- have said they would answer the call for the next trilogy.

Disney has said in addition to the next trilogy, they will produce spin-off films from the "Star Wars" universe, with two likely subjects a young Han Solo and Bobba Fett.
